THE IMPORTANCE OF THE LAST THOUGHT AT THE TIME OF DIE





On this matter, Blavatsky noted the following:

« Occult science teaches that the frame of mind in which a man dies, is of the utmost importance owing to the abnormal and psychic state in which he then is. The last thought of a dying person does much to influence his immediate future.

The arrow is ready to fly from the bow; the bow-string is abreast of the ear, and the aim will decide the immediate fate of the arrow. Happy is he for whom “Om is the bow, the Self is the arrow, the Brahman—its aim!”
(Mundaka-Upanishad II, ii, 4)


At such a sacred moment, strong spiritual aspirations, whether natural or induced by the earnest exhortation of either one who has a true conviction, or better still, of one possessed of the divine Gnosis, will protect the Soul of him who is leaving life.

This is not meant, however, to endorse the superstition of a “death-bed repentance,” for the immutable justice and harmony of the Karmic Law can only return a fleeting effect for a fleeting cause; and the rest of the Karmic debt must be paid in future earth-lives.

“Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. AMEN I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.”
(Matt., v, 25, 26).


That is to say, according to the Gnostic and esoteric interpretation, work while it is yet day, so that good Karmic action may balance the evil causes previously set in motion by the personality.

Otherwise, at death we shall be judged by our own Higher Self, and under the conduct of the agents of the Karmic Law (the Demiourgos collectively), will have to reincarnate again into the prison of the body, until the past evil Karma has been exhausted. For until the last farthing of the Karmic debt is exhausted, we can never be untied from the wheel of “Samsara.” »
(CW 13, p.74-75)






OBSERVATIONS

We see therefore that the last thought we have at the time of death is very important, but you should know that there are two "last thoughts":

1) The last thought that we can do voluntarily and intentionally, and this thought is this thought will have a great influence on our immediate future after we die.

And for example, the masters explained that most humans lose consciousness after they die and remain asleep when they enter the astral plane. But Master Pasteur taught that if at the moment you are dying, you concentrate, and you mention the mantra "So-Ham", and you focus on what that mantra means, that is, "you are a soul."

Then after dying you will stay awake and transferred directly to an elevated area of the astral plane.


2) And there is the last thought that we cannot control and that occurs after we see our whole lives pass before our eyes.

And this other last thought will be the synthesis of what we have done most during our life on Earth, and will have a great influence on our existence in the Devachan (Heaven) and also in our next reincarnation.

On this matter, Master Kuthumi wrote:

« That thought, that feeling which is the strongest in us at that supreme hour; when, as in a dream, the events of a long life, to their minutest details, are marshalled in the greatest order in a few seconds in our vision  — that feeling will become the fashioner of our bliss or woe, the life-principle of our future existence. »
(ML 20, p.127-128)


And William Judge also pointed out that:

« When a man dies, the brain dies last. Life is still busy there after death has been announced. The soul marshals up all past events, grasps the sum total, the average tendency stands out, the ruling hope is seen. Their final aroma forms the keynote of Devachanic existence. »
(Echoes of the Orient III, p.43)


And this other second thought (or tonality, or vibration, as you want to call it) we cannot manipulate it in that moment in which we are dying, but we are building it daily from the actions that we are doing throughout our Earthly life.
